If I do a clean install on the new server it works. But if I uninstall, do an install.sh -s, merge /opt/zimbra from the old server (tar-ed with tar -cpf), zmfixperms and then install.sh, the problem appears.

Has anybody experienced the same problem, or have any idea what is causing it?

Welcome to the forums.

I assume your new server has the same IP, hostname and DNS A & MX records pointing to it?

Problem moving ZCS 4.5.9 OSE from FC4 server to FC5 server

Hi,

Yes, the new and the old server has swapped identity. (IP address and hostname.)

I assume you've also disabled all the usual suspects - ipv6, SELinux & firewall? Just for confirmation, can you run the following on the new server:

As you can see, email is relayed through some anti-spam/anti-virus servers before it hits the Zimbra server.

The servers are running with iptables enabled, and full access for loopback:

Code:

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT

That's not quite what you want. You should also have a line for your server e.g.:

Code:

62.97.193.11 mail.hjemme.no mail

For the ipv6 you'll need an extra step. Check these details , you'll also need to reboot (although a network restart may do it).

We don't recommend running a firewall on the Zimbra server itself but If you're going to do it you'll need additional rules in there, check this article.

Problem moving ZCS 4.5.9 OSE from FC4 server to FC5 server

Hi,

I have now completely disabled IPv6 (and rebooted) and added the requested line to /etc/hosts.

But I do not think that the problem is related to the basic network configuration, because the old server is in production with the ZCS-FC4 install and the new server works with a clean ZCS-FC5 install. The problem appears when the new server is installed (-s), /opt/zimbra is copied from the old server (which is functioning with IPv6 on the interface and only localhost in /etc/hosts) to the new and install rerun.

For some reason Tomcat does not start, and that is why you see the "Connection refused" messages in the log.

I have also added a local nameserver, to make the lab-environment reflect the production-environment:
